Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Generously sprinkle all sides of the pork loin with salt and pepper. Place a braiser or shallow Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and heat until shimmering. Carefully put the pork in the pan. Sear until deeply golden on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan.
- Put the onions and apple in a large mixing bowl. Add the caraway seeds, dried thyme, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss to coat. Transfer the mixture to the bottom of the braiser and nestle in the garlic cloves. Pour in 1/4 cup of the chicken stock and place the pork back on top.
- Roast until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board to rest while you make a pan sauce. Remove the apple and onion mixture to a platter
- Return the braiser to the stove over medium-high heat. Pour in the hard cider and remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock. Cook, scraping with a spatula to remove any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Whisk in the mustard. Allow the sauce to simmer until reduced slightly, a couple of minutes. Add the butter, whisking until melted. Cook just until the sauce is shiny and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Slice the pork and arrange the slices over the onion and apple mixture. Top with sauce and chopped parsley.

- Season the casserole well: Use salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. A little bit of nutmeg or thyme can add a nice touch.
